This is my 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. My grandmother, Florence (Miller) Clawson, bought this car brand new in 1957. Before my grandfather, Bruce Clawson, died, he gave it to my father in gratitude for the help he provided to my grandparents in their later years. My Dad had it for about 15 years and he then gave it to me.

The car has been garage-kept for the whole time it has been in the Clawson family. We have maintained the car but it has never been restored.

This is Shaffer Street in Bolivar, Pennsylvania. This was taken in May, 2001. This is the street where I grew up and the one my parents still live. The view here is from Second Street and Shaffer Street.

The first house on the left was the house where my grandmother, Florence Hannah (Miller) Clawson, spent part of her childhood. This was the old Moose Lodge.

The first house one the right was where Ralph Davis Clawson and his wife Jennie (Miller) Clawson lived. Later on, the house was owned by William Alfred Clawson, Ralph's grandson. The second house on the right was where my grandparents, Alfred Bruce Clawson and Florence (Miller) Clawson lived.

In the 1960's, my parents, JR and Ginger Clawson, built their house on this street. The house is the second house you can see on the left side of the street.
